I feel like most people who advocate for individuals to use multisig either don't know or purposely leave out the privacy implications

How so ?

An individual using taproot shouldn't be a problem unless I'm mistaken, but an individual using multisig is a weird case. (Conjures image of lone wolf, in a pinch, quickly digging a coldcard out from under a tree somewhere)

Multiple signers are an issue, i.e. your heirs knowing your stack before you die. Or the custodian of your other keys while you're alive and bound to 1 place at 1 time.

Other people are always the problem.

Precisely. Collaborative multisig = your cosigner sees your stack. And I believe if someone gets the config file they can also see it?

Yeah it gets real hairy if you want other folks involved. I'm fortunate to have trusted collaborators in my life, but if the signers can't know the details of the wallet until it's time to spend, it ends up turning into a treasure hunt for the quorum details, which might end badly.

Yup, just too messy of a situation even for most self-custody bitcoiners me thinks
